Watch this short video, which shows Rio Stools in customers' homes.
The Rio Stool is one of the most popular in our range of Italian Luxury Bar Stools. It has a simple, stylish design of seat, which can be fitted to all 8 of the standard bases. The seat can be upholstered with Real Leather or a Man Made Eco Leather. ( called Magic Eco Leather). We can also supply some fabric options - Ask for more information if this is of interest.
The seat is created from two Laminated Shaped Plywood bases. These are covered with foam and then the Real Leather or Eco Leather Cover is cut and fitted to the outside of one base and the inside of the other base. Finally, the two bases are fixed nestling together, like two spoons. This method of construction gives a very smooth and tailored finish with no visible fixings.
Bases
The picture above shows Rio Stools fitted with Base 50 in Charcoal epoxy Powder Coated Finish. The current 8 bases are illustrated below: -
N.B Extra finishes have been added recently. Here is the full list of available finishes for every base; -
Mirror Chrome, Black Chrome or Brushed Steel. Alternatively
Black, Charcoal, Titanium, Chocolate Brown, Bronze, Gold or Nickel Satin (Silver) EPC Finish and finally Brushed Gold Plated for those who want the ultimate luxury finish.
EPC means Epoxy Powder Coated. This hard, Matt Finish is applied to the steel, then baked in an oven.
The Nickel Satin Finish is a Matt Silver colour
The Brushed Gold-Plated finish uses Real Gold, so it is rather expensive. There is an alternative. By choosing Gold EPC finish, you will get a Matt Gold Finish at a significantly lower price.
You can choose the base and the finish that you want by clicking the "Base Style and Finish" button, then pick the option you like. The extra cost for each selection will be shown in a bracket beside it.
N.B. The gas column must always be chrome plated because that is the only finish that is hard enough to resist the constant rubbing movement on an adjustable stool. The factory default is to supply Mirror Chrome Gas Columns. (Except for the Black Chrome Base which has a black chrome gas column.) However, with the Black, Charcoal and Bronze EPC finishes, we consider that the gas column looks better with the black chrome finish because it blends better with the dark finishes. Black Chrome Gas columns are available as an optional extra.
The seat can be covered in all 27 of the Magic Eco Leather colours or 28 Real Leather Colours.

Eco Leather is a High Quality Man Made Material which looks and feels like Real Leather but without the same price tag. It is Hard Wearing. However Real Leather does outlive Eco leather, so we recommend Real Leather if your budget allows the extra cost.
Chairs that Match the Stools There is a Rio chair that matches the Rio Bar Stool. This is ideal for open-plan dining kitchens because the Bar Stools and Chairs match each other in style. Naturally, they can be covered in the same colour leather or fabric to give a totally coordinated effect.
Additional Options for the Seat
N.B. It is possible to get the seat of the Rio Stool upholstered in two different colours of leather, Eco Leather or fabric - One on the inside of the seat and the other on the outside of the seat. We call this Bi-Colour. There is an extra cost for this option. Please ask for more information if this is of interest.
Also, the outside back of Rio Stools or chairs can have a quilted upholstery cover in Real Leather or Eco Leather, as an optional extra. Once again, please ask for more information.
